| 1 | Christ indeed was born of Spirit |
| | | When He came a man to be; |
| | And before His service started, |
| | | With the Spirit filled was He. |
| | Yet He still received the baptism |
| | | Of the Spirit from on high |
| | When He came to start His service |
| | | And was clothed with pow’r thereby. |
| 2 | Peter and the Lord’s disciples |
| | | All were Spirit born and filled, |
| | Breathing in the Holy Spirit |
| | | As on them Christ breathed and willed. |
| | Yet they still received the baptism |
| | | Of the Spirit from on high |
| | When they were equipped for service, |
| | | And were clothed with pow’r thereby. |
| 3 | Saul of Tarsus, the Ephesians, |
| | | And Samaritans believed; |
| | Thus by Spirit generated, |
| | | Of His fulness they received. |
| | Yet they still received the baptism |
| | | Of the Spirit from on high |
| | When some laid their hands upon them, |
| | | And were clothed with pow’r thereby. |
| 4 | We are also born of Spirit |
| | | On the day when we believe, |
| | And of Him we now are drinking |
| | | As we daily Him receive. |
| | Yet we also must be baptized |
| | | With the Spirit from on high, |
| | Thus to be equipped for service, |
| | | And be clothed with pow’r thereby. |
| 5 | Lord, baptize us with Thy Spirit! |
| | | This is what we need today; |
| | Clothe us with Thy heav’nly power, |
| | | Bring us under its full sway. |
| | Oh, baptize us in this hour! |
| | | This is all our earnest cry; |
| | Now on us repeat Thine answer, |
| | | Clothe with power from on high. |
